Richard Hart Bread: Intuitive Sourdough Baking

"Sourdough bakers have a serious contender for a new bread bible."--Plate

"Richard Hart Bread is in a league of its own. Undoubtedly one of the world's greatest bakers, I have two words of advice for you: Buy it. Even if you have already mastered the usual suspects--a baguette, pain au levain, a whole grain loaf--now it's time to earn your doctorate in baking. Richard's book will guide you to baking greatness."--Nancy Silverton

"Richard is the bread whisperer. Having been in the trenches with him, I've seen it firsthand. Next to his family, I don't think there's anything in the world Richard cares more about than bread--it's more than a job, breadmaking courses through his veins. So when diving into the pages of this book, you're getting a piece of his soul. Each word, each method, it's steeped in his essence. The passion, the meticulous care--it's all here. This book isn't just about bread; it's a type manifesto of Richard's lifelong quest for that fleeting (life affirming) moment of a perfect bake. It is a testament to the art and craft of baking. Trust me, you can taste the difference."--Rene Redzepi

"Even if you have shelves and shelves of bread books, you'll still want this one!"--Nigella Lawson

"This book is for all the dreamers. For people who aren't afraid of making mistakes. We need more touch and feel and smell and taste. This book will provide a path of love and misery in trying but if we don't try, we will never know so it's worth it! Break your brain or bake your heart."--Matty Matheson

"Richard Hart restores the heart to bread baking. He urges us to trust our senses over strict science. Like learning an instrument, baking bread demands patience, practice, precision, but above all, a passion. We're all safe in Hart's hands."--Yotam Ottolenghi
